What Does It Say About Society?
Individual work
- Show one statement at a time and give the student a moment to read it.
- Ask the student to think about what this behaviour might say about modern society.
- Give 30–60 seconds to think before speaking.
- The student explains their opinion using simple reasons and examples.
- Encourage longer answers with follow-up questions (Why do people do this? What does it show about society? Was it different in the past?).
- Focus on fluency and clear ideas rather than correcting mistakes at this stage.
Group work (including breakout rooms)
- Show the statement and explain the task.
- Put students into pairs or small groups (2–4 students).
- Students discuss what the behaviour might say about modern society and give reasons or examples.
- Encourage them to compare ideas and discuss whether they agree or disagree.
- Students can also consider how this behaviour might have been different in the past.
- After the discussion, invite a few students to share their ideas with the whole class.
- Keep feedback focused on communication, clarity of ideas, and participation.
Class Sharing
- Invite several students to share their opinions with the whole class.
- Ask other students whether they agree or see the behaviour differently.
- Encourage short reactions, additional ideas, or examples from personal experience.
Extra Ideas
1. Agree or Disagree
Students decide if they agree with the statement.
They move to different sides of the room (or say their choice online) and explain their reasons.
2. Then vs Now
Students discuss how the same behaviour might have been different 20–30 years ago.
3. Real Example
Students give a real example from their life, their country, or something they have noticed recently.
4. Future Prediction
Students discuss whether this behaviour will become more common or less common in the future and why.
